Thanks for your post. Maybe it's a complex issue, but to me it's very simple. I see things differently. To others (most of them), social interactions are something come naturally without much effort and thinking, and they thrive on socializing. They feel alive that way. For me, it's not the case. Before speaking anything, I think why I'm speaking and what exactly I want. Having random and small talks for example isn't something I do because I don't see the point of it. All just to make people feel good with fake pretentious care. I have to talk to someone and make her/him feel good about herself/himself to return that feelings to me or to help me doing something or to get something. I don't need this feedback process, or rather I don't find it natural to me. Of course, this makes me rude and not sociable according to the norms, and the result is that I'm being isolated. I know these two (not being sociable and isolated) go side by side, but I just feel it's not part of me to be sociable. I have to be someone else to not be isolated, and I don't think I'd like that either.
